Haha, the SF thread was one of the factors. I was on the look out for the absolute minimalist leather jacket. And you cannot go more minimalist than MA+. I almost bought it online, but after reading SF and SZ, it was clear that MA+ should not be purchased without trying.

Fortunately I was able to try it on. And for a change, everything the internet said was true. I am a true 48 and still I had a hard time zipping it up. The jacket is thick (wool-lined) and stiff, but is wearing in nicely. Will not look out of place in a dressier setting with the double zipper.

The new Aero Board Racer is IN! We like the fit of this new cafe' racer quite a bit, so we thought we'd show a photo here. If anyone would like to see more of this jacket in CXL Black Front Quarter Horsehide, there are more photos here:

Thinking about getting a simple black moto, and was wondering what people thought of the following three options?

Real McCoys Buco J-100 repro.

Mostly like it because it's a reproduction of a classic, although I'm not sure how far that gets me, when compared to the other options here. I have a Buzz Rickson A2 repro, and while I really like it, it doesn't get as much wear as my other jackets. It does seem nice and simple though, which could be good in the long run.

Below are the Junya photos. I don't know what the StyFo make up will look like, but it'll probably be something vaguely similar to this. I'm not as familiar with Vanson's materials as I am with the other two, but they look nice (even if a little bulky).

i kind of hate the zipper tabs at the end of the sleeves in the first and second ones. they look goofy and them dangling there all of the time would drive me crazy. third one is by far the best choice.
